Blonde beauty Agron shot to fame last year (09) after taking on the role of cheerleader Quinn Fabray in the all-singing, all-dancing high school show and she walked away with the Breakthrough Newcomer trophy at Sunday's (15Aug10) ceremony in Hollywood.

Szohr, who has been a regular on Gossip Girl since the first season in 2007, was handed the Breakthrough Actress in Film award for her work in the upcoming action horror Piranha 3D.

Breakthrough Actor in Film went to Josh Hutcherson for The Kids Are All Right, while 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord landed the Breakthrough Standout Performance for her role on the hit U.S. series.

Other winners at the event included Matt Bomer, who was named Breakthrough Actor in TV for White Collar, and Sofia Vergara, whose turn in Modern Family gained her the Breakthrough Actress in TV prize.
